"Oh, no you don't!" Emerl said, outrunning the malicious dictator and blocking the exit. "Did you REALLY think it would be THAT easy?" XR stood behind Robotnik, guns deployed* and ready to fire at any time, if needed. *(is that the right word to use?)

Robotnik stopped. He put one hand up. "I'd put both hands up, but my other's kind of occupied," he quips. Down the hall, the roboticized arm is spasming due to lack of input.

If Emerl had a mouth, he would've been smirking. "Fine, I'll spare you...for now, at least. BUT! If you try any more tricks, I'm afraid I'll be forced to, shall I say, 'even you out,'" Emerl replied, bringing his sword dangerously close to Robotnik's remaining arm. XR relaxed slightly and retracted most of his guns, leaving a few out in case Robotnik tried anything again.

The rest of Team Lightyear stood, rooted to the ground. Mira and Booster eventually found the means to move and assist in arresting Robotink. Buzz on the other hand continued to stare at Warp, who didn't have to pretend to have an interest in the papers he was still clutching in his flesh hand.
Buzz finally strolls over, hoping to get Warp's attention.
"Warp", Buzz practically blurts. Warp ignores him, and continues to read.
"Warp", says Buzz a little more forcefully this time. He has to know why Warp did anything to save his neck.
"What do you want, Lightyear", Warp seems tense.
"Why did you just save me and my team", Buzz asks "You're not supposed to care." Buzz recalls the last time Warp bothered to save him.
"I don't care, Buzz" Warp responds "I bother with you because if some loony like him can defeat you rangers, then I don't want to have to face him myself and I doubt he would pay as well as Zurg does. So in a few short words, I "care" because I profit from doing so. You of all people aught to know that much about me. I do things to save my own neck." Buzz sits down on the earth next to Warp, trying to figure out how someone could not care at all, and still care enough to act in a life or death situation. Warp stuffs the information into a storage compartment in his suit and leans his head against the hull of Robotnik's ship, wishing that somehow he could explain why he is who he his, but to know avail

Emerl looked at the roboticized arm, which was still spasming, in disgust. He picked it up and began to tinker with it (Dunno what else to say! OuO;;

OuO;; "You may want to know that has an anti-tampering mechanism. If you mess with the wrong wires, it'll send off an activation signal, and Robotropolis will self-destruct... via atomic bomb. Not too good of a situation for any living being on the planet. Even me. You're lucky you managed to miss it when you severed my arm."

Emerl stopped tinkering with the arm, not wanting to take a chance if Robotnik had indeed installed a trigger to blow up Robotropolis. XR was busy talking to Mira and Booster.

"Soo, if it's alright with you," Buzz addressed Emerl "I'd like to take Robotnik into custody and take back to Star Command for interrogation. I mean, him being your nemesis and all, I thought maybe you'd like to have him."
The situation was slightly uncomfortable for Buzz, since he had never had to "share" a prisoner before and he still wasn't fully acquainted with Emerl. Warp had left and Buzz was wishing he had been able to get more of a conversation out of him. But he had more important things before him now.

"Well, I-" Emerl started to say, but stopped when he saw a blue, furry being running towards the ship. "Hey, it's Sonic!" Emerl exclaimed, surprised and excited. Sonic skidded to a stop in front of the star cruiser. "If you don't mind, I'll be taking him to prison myself," the speedy blue hedgehog insisted. "Sonic! Wait for me!" a voice yelled. Everyone looked past Sonic to see a young two-tailed fox with orange fur flying towards them. "Tails!" Sonic said, grabbing Tails and giving him a noogie. "Sonic, stop!" Tails said, laughing. Sonic let go of Tails. "If it's okay with you, Tails could show you around if he's willing to," Sonic said. "Of course! I don't mind," Tails replied.

Mira just couldn't help thinking that this was weird. Another weird robot, a blue, very fast hedgehog and two-tailed fox. And before all this Warp Darkmatter, of all people, had saved their necks. Headache. And Buzz was acting as if he owned the situation, giving Sonic a hard time about the custody of Robotnik.
"Okay, Sonic, is it? This fellow was planning to attack the Galactic Alliance and Star Command so, according to code 29, paragraph three, I can legally arrest this person and press charges, which I have done." Buzz asserted.
"Psst. XR? Who do you think will get to take Ro...Ro...Ro, whatever his name was into custody?" Booster was eagerly observing the discussion that had ensued.

"Well..." Sonic started to reply. "Sonic, maybe you should let them take Robotnik into custody," Tails interrupted. "I'm not really sure," XR replied to Booster. "Um, would you guys like a look around?" Tails asked the rangers again. "Emerl, Sonic, and I could show you around... if you're willing to change into Mobian forms." XR looked at Tails. "Wait, what?" he asked.

"What is Mobian form", Buzz questioned, his Ranger senses beginning to tingle.
"I guess Buzz won", Booster asserted to XR.
"And no, we're not interested in a tour until Robotnik is in secure custody. Mira, call Star Command and request prisoner pickup." Buzz had clearly taken control of the situation all by himself and without anyone asking him to do so.
"Roger that, Buzz", Mira replied as she proceeded to contact the Rangers home base.

"Well, I can basically turn you into, say, a hedgehog, like Sonic, or a fox, like me, or--well, you get the idea, right?" Tails explained. "I have a special machine that I recently finished that has the ability to turn you into Mobians."
"Don't worry about Robotnik, I'll stay here and keep an eye on him until the others arrive to take him," Sonic insisted. "Go with Tails and Emerl to Tails' lab. I'll be fine here."
XR was too interested in what Tails was saying to respond to(or even notice) Booster's comment.

Buzz was not liking the idea of being turned into an animal. What if something happened that required his ranger skills, what if Zurg found out and attacked while he was away. No, he couldn't do this. And besides all that, he didn't trust that blue hedgehog one bit.
"I'm not to sure about that." Buzz stated sceptically, "What if our ranger skills are required at some moment and we can't utilize them? And no I don't trust you."
"Buzz, I don't think we have any reason not to trust them, and I'm sure that we, as rangers, will be able to handle anything that might come our way." Mira was once again the logic of the team and was willing to give changing into a different form a try.
Booster...Booster on the other hand, was neither for, nor against the proposition. Usually he would side with Buzz on issues like these, but Mira presented a good point. What to do, what to do.
(I don't know, I'm not really good at playing Team Lightyear. Help.)

"Don't worry," Tails replied,"it's perfectly safe, and you'd be able to change back if you wanted to. I can understand you not trusting us, but I assure you, we're the most trustworthy people you'll find here."
"So, let's get going, already!" Emerl said, growing restless.
"Be patient, Emerl," Tails ordered. "We still need to come to an agreement." He turned to Buzz. "So, will you come with us?"
"Wait, I have a question," XR interrupted. "Will we be able to choose what our Mobian forms will be and what we'll look like?"
"Yes, you will," Tails replied.
